Players Club

As announced throughout the month of February the Michigan Lottery Players Club program is only available for Michigan residents effective February 27, 2012. Federal guidelines that regulate gaming activity over the internet are the basis for this important policy.

It is important to note that these federal guidelines only impact internet activities and do not impact the purchase and redemption of tickets at Michigan Lottery retailers. When in Michigan, we hope you continue to visit Michigan Lottery retailers to purchase a ticket for a chance to win cash prizes!

We invite you to stay connected with the Michigan Lottery by visiting your favorite Michigan Lottery retailer, MichiganLottery.com, Facebook and Twitter where you can get the latest winning numbers and more. Thank you for your support of the Michigan Lottery and we wish you good fortune in the future!

Annuity Prizes

Annuity prize winners must contact Lottery Public Relations at 1-517-373-1237 for instructions on how to claim prizes. All annuity prizes must be claimed at the Bureau’s Lansing office.

Jackpot prizes with an annuity option can be paid in one of two ways: as an annuity or in one lump-sum/cash-option payment for the present cash value of the jackpot share. When a winner selects annuity, the jackpot is paid out for a predetermined number of years* (see below for more details). As part of the Tax and Trade Release Extension Act of 1998, lotteries may offer the winner of annuitized prizes an election to receive their prize in a single discounted cash payment in lieu of receiving a series of payments spread over several years. To qualify, the winner must make the election within sixty (60) days after the winner claims the prize (i.e. the date the ticket is validated and/or the date the winner comes to Lottery Central).

*Predetermined Annuity Length:

Mega Millions - The annuitized jackpot amount shall be paid out through a graduated annuity over 30 years (5% escalation per payment).

Powerball - The annuitized jackpot prize shall be the amount equivalent to a 30-year graduated annuity funded by the amount allocated for the jackpot pool at the current rate of return on investment in U.S. government zero-coupon strip bonds. In no event, however, shall the annuitized jackpot prize be less than forty million dollars ($40,000,000). All annuitized prizes shall be paid annually in thirty (30) payments with the initial payment being made in a single payment; to be followed by twenty-nine (29) graduated payments funded by the annuity.

Lotto 47 - The annuitized jackpot amount shall be paid out over 30 years.

Lucky for Life - The annuitized jackpot amounts for the $1,000/Day for Life and $25,000/Year for Life prizes shall be paid out for the winner’s lifetime or 20 years, whichever is greater, unless within 60 days from the date the winner claims their prize, they request the cash option method of payment.

Club Keno - No annuity option available

Fantasy 5 - No annuity option available

Keno - No annuity option available

Additional Claims Information

Tax Information on Michigan Lottery Prizes

Michigan Lottery prizes are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. You may be required to make estimated tax payments by filing a form 1040ES with the Internal Revenue Service. If you have questions regarding income tax, please contact the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-1040, the Michigan Department of Treasury at (517) 636-4486, or your local taxing authority.

The Michigan Lottery provides winning Lottery clubs with a blank Substitute 5754 form. Lottery clubs must submit a completed Substitute 5754 form at time of prize payment.

Following are some additional facts on Lottery withholding guidelines:

Prizes of $600 and below: The Lottery does not withhold any taxes.

Prizes of greater than $600 and up to and including $5,000: The Lottery does not withhold any taxes but is required to report the winnings to the IRS and Michigan Department of Treasury. The winner will then be required to report the income in the tax year it is claimed.

Prizes of greater than $5,000: For any Michigan Lottery prize of greater than $5,000, the Lottery is required to withhold an estimated 25 percent in federal tax and 4.25 percent in state tax. These withholdings do not necessarily satisfy a winner's tax liability; they are simply estimates. We recommend that all winners contact the IRS, Michigan Department of Treasury and trusted tax professionals to determine whether additional tax payments will be required.

Non-Michigan U.S. residents: All prizes of greater than $5,000 are subject to 25 percent federal tax and 4.25 percent state tax withholding regardless of the state of residence.
